This Week's Events

Building Open on Saturday, 10/17

We have a permit approved for working in our school from 10:00 AM - 2:30 PM this Saturday. Feel free to come in and do work in your classroom or join in on jazzing up your Compass shirt! If you are planning on coming in, please let Brooke know via email or text. Also, if you are asked at the front security desk why you are here, please tell them that you are participating in the workshop from 10:00 - 2:30.

As part of her residency, Sara does one professional development session per cycle with educators. In this session, Sara will discuss a technique or a practice to encourage arts-based experiences and arts integration in the classroom. We will also make some art together.

4:15 - 5:15: Integrated Unit Planning Time

More information

Hi All,

I will be hosting a post-Fall Arts Fest hang out on Saturday, October 24th. Whether you are attending, volunteering, or neither, feel free to stop by! We will start around 5:30ish (depending on how clean-up goes). There will be snacks and we will fire up our grill one last time and cook some veggies, hamburgers, veggie burgers, and hot dogs. There also may be some Halloween candy because why not? I will also have some bottles of wine, beer, and both fizzy and regular water, but feel free to bring other drinks if there is something that you want specifically.

If you are planning to come, RSVP so I can figure out how much food to get. Feel free to invite a friend, family members(including kids) or significant other!

Once you get to my place, instead of ringing the buzzer, come around the side alley on the right-hand side of the house to the backyard.
